Rebecca On

23 October 2012

Now that we’ve had a peek into Rebecca’s bohemian loft in NoHo, we had to ask: What does she do in this picture-perfect, inviting home? Host dinner parties, of course. (That is, when she’s not working, playing with Luca, traveling or enjoying a night out with her actor/director hubby, Gavin Bellour.) After a feature in Elle earlier this year showcasing her Indian-themed dinner party, we knew she would have something great in store for festive, feel-good fall entertaining.

What I love about planning dinner parties…

Cooking is a no-fuss, enjoyable and relaxing process for me, and having people over for dinner is a great way to enjoy a special time with your friends. I love everything about it.

My favorite fall dinner…

Pumpkin or sweet potato soup to start. For a salad, I love my mom’s recipe for a mesclun salad with roasted veggies, goat cheese and crispy garlic. For the main course, I would go with roasted chicken, and for dessert, apple crumble.

I don’t necessarily have a best story, but I definitely have a few funny ones. One time my friend was having a few of us over for dinner and she unknowingly dropped her cell phone in the fondue pot. Naturally, she was in a panic looking for her phone the entire night. She found it the next morning when she was doing her dishes – and it still worked! She called to tell me, and I have never laughed so hard. Another time, I was cooking an Indian-themed dinner for some friends. Elle magazine was doing a shoot about the dinner, so I borrowed a huge table for the occasion. When it came time to return the table, we couldn’t get it out the door so we had to get someone to come and saw it in half to remove it!
